In Colorado Springs a lot of us civilians call the guys who were camos “pickle boys” cuz they look like giant pickles. Although, nothing like a fly boy in his camos…make me drool. They all have such strong posture, nicely cropped hair and most of those fly boys are fine fine fine I tell you. Hey ladies, if you like a guy in camos, C Springs is your place. With NORAD, Peterson Air Force Base, Shriver Air Force Base the Air Force Academy and Ft. Carson – Army, you have more to look at than you thought possible. ---

I have come across a number of uniformed men; police, firemen, emergency medical technitians, the milkman, the purolator guy…and so on…and I have to admit that ALOT of them look mighty fine in those duds. and alot of them , I’m sure would look just as good out of them!!! ---

Well, “custom made” would definitely be pushing it. Let me tell you about how the fitters tailor those uniforms(from someone who was in the Army for 7 years). These people pull the trousers as far up into your crotch as they can, mark all the seams in like 2 minutes and send you off in yer underwear. When you finally get a chance to wear the things, they’re either too big or too small, so you have to get em tailored again. Also, they may “look good” but they sure as hell don’t FEEL good! Personally, I think most of the uniforms in the military look moronic, but hey, I’m a bit jaded. I’ll surely put one on for effect, though, if you ladies like them so much! 😉 * * * “It is now proved beyond doubt that smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.” ---

Great ladies, and I thought all this time it was my sparkling personality and not the military uniform. The only thing that irritated me in 20 years of service was wearing headgear. I never did like wearing berets, especially with my dress blues, although looking back, it seems to have been a great conversation starter with chicks. * * * “…send lawyers, guns, and money…” ``` Warren Zevon ``` ---

I agree BluePony. Nothing turned off those girls who love men in uniform more than taking off yer hat and having “hathead”! 😉 ---

(Wishing that he had kept some of his old uniforms)…Well, I _used_ to wear them… Anyway, Democritus was right, “custom tailored” means that you get a whole 5 minutes with a tailor that somehow got stuck with the military contract. He sizes all 4 of “Dress” uniforms in that period of time. I was always very comfortable in the BDU’s. Maybe I’ll look for some old pics of me in 'em…(wandering off to look at old photo’s and reminise)(SP?) ---

Atrael, I agree. BDUs were _very_ comfortable. We had the option of wearing BDUs or whites in the hospital that I worked at and I almost invariably went for the BDUs. That was, until I found out we could drop our whites off and have them laundered for free! That put an end to that. I still wear them when hunting, or working on the car though. * * * “It is now proved beyond doubt that smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.” ---

My advice for people who like men in uniform: go to a Star Trek convention. Plenty of people in uniform there. ---

After spending some time in the USN and on an island with about 5,000 Marines, I’m definately partial to a nice hulking stud in a pair of camies! Maybe that’s why I like guys with short hair. Actually, now that I think about it, he doesn’t even have to be hulking, just nice. 😉 ---

My wife wanted to marry in my Army dress blue uniform, I liked my green one though. I had a West Point Grey till I left there, I hated West Point. I married in a tux. Once in a while we play dress up though. Its fun. I miss the army sometimes…sometimes. -N ---

Well, Newton, I think your wife would have looked funny getting married in your dress blues. Speaking as someone who sees almost every variation of almost every US military uniform (jointness, doncha know), I have to give my vote to Marine dress blues. I don’t care who you put in those things, they look _hot_. ---
